[Music] 'The Triffids' or 'The Go Betweens'?

Totally lost here, are we talking about the rock band The Triffids? or the book or film The Day Of the Triffids?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Depends whether it is their day or not ?

Go Betweens, by a mile.

Born Sandy Devotional is a great album, but it doesn't stack up against the incredible body of work Grant and Robert did with the GBs.

Though I never saw them in the day, I'm very happy I got to see several of the later, reunion era concerts before Grant's untimely passing.

Plus the GBs once recorded an album in Eastbourne, so the Sussex connection earns them a bonus point.

The Go Betweens. Looking forward to seeing Robert Forster on Saturday.

It's just I listened to 'Raining Pleasure' and 'Save What you can' this morning ... and I doubted myself.

One of my great regrets is not saying yes to tour managing the last Go Betweens European tour. My friend Annette was the front of house engineer and she always chiding me for not doing it as they had such a good time and played some great shows.
So Go Betweens for me, every time now,

I quit my job because of The Go Betweens. I had a ticket but some business came up. I found myself halfway to Portsmouth to give some mortgage advice that might have earned me £200. Got as far as Lancing.
Stopped the car, phoned in my apologies (accepted) and went home.
Didn't make the gig, had a nervous breakdown instead.
The Go Betweens saved my life.

This is Premier League v league div 2.

GBs every day of the year, no contest!

Great days following them in the 90s and early 00's, even got to Meet them both at The London Jazz Cafe acoustic show!
